Well, fellow Lactnetters: I took a hiatus from Lactnet after having lots of things stressing my life to the point of rupture. For those of you who don't remember me, and those who do, I am Renee. I live in Northern California. I am a registered nurse who hopes to one day sit for the IBCLC exam. I was active in LLL. I no longer am applying for leadership. I am still a member, and continue to love LLL. My life has calmed a bit, and I have the best news to share. I just was offered my dream job. I will be working as an Early Headstart Health and Nutrition Resource Specialist. I will be responsible for prenatal through 5 yr old age children, and their families. I will be responsible for lactation education and success in our county, among other things. I am so very excited to have been offered this position. Now I have a professional reason for being here in Lactnet. You all have been such a source of support, information and love to me. I thank you for helping me help friends to succeed at breastfeeding. I very much look forward to looking to you all for advice and information as I embark on this new and exciting journey. It feels good to be able to serve my county in this way. :) I look forward to hearing your updates and to catch up on the things going on with you. Boy, it feels good to be back :) Renee RN,CLC Mom to 4 kids, 3 successfully breastfed and the youngest one, Cate, is STILL breastfeeding at 2 years 8 months. :) "No other success can compensate for failure in the home" -- David O. McKay "When your Heavenly Father looks down from heaven, he doesn't see your successes and failures. What he sees is the beautiful heart of a mother who has laid down her life for her children. And He is pleased with what he sees." -- Rev.
